I follow where my mind goes

The universe is divided into two qualities: that which I control, and that which I don't. In the latest of a lifelong series of events where I attempt to carve ever more finite pieces off the uncontrollable, I had surgery. That axillary lump, that zillionth blot on my self-image, is no more.

As always, it was a rush.

Laying on the table with arms crucified to IVs, skin smooth and hair spread, I felt powerful, calm, even sexy; the spotlight of the operating theatre, the focus of a team of four. I regret only not saying goodbye, not absently yet worriedly fondling the mass one last time.
